Willow Tree to Merriwa
« on: May 04, 2014, 08:44:23 PM »
I'd like to drive tomorrow on the Willow Tree to Merriwa Rd but SWMBO, who's following in her Peugeot 308, won't countenance driving it on a dirt road.  My road maps, show a fair section of gravel. 

Can anyone advise if the road has now been sealed?

Thanks

Mate last drove it about 4years ago? Yep your map was right there was a fair run of dirt, nothing that a sedan wouldn't do easy though.

Looked on google earth and it is dated feb this year, and it shows a lot of dirt...

Best option if you don't want dirt is to go down to Scone and across to Merriwa..

Sounds good mate, we lived in Scone for several years, a really pretty part of the Hunter!

Topndr I've driven that road a 1000 times in the last 2 years. It is mainly gravel and is a goat track. The locals call it the back road and drive it everyday in all manner of vehicles. I drive it in a work sedan so I don't care what happens to it but I wouldn't drive my own car if it didn't have enough ground clearance. The pug will get wrecked.
